About Us

Our Researcher Development and Training Programme is a comprehensive programme of events, opportunities, workshops and resources to support and develop Humanities researchers at all stages of their career from postgraduate level upwards. Some of these opportunities are bespoke and developed in-house; others are provided through external partners, student support services or in partnership with faculties. 

Our workshops and events are open to Master's and DPhil students and postdoctoral researchers (including teaching-only and college-only appointments). Most of our events are free, but some require a £20 deposit which will be returned once you have attended the course, or cancel more than 72 hours before the event start time. Please see our Terms and Conditions for more information.

Our programme is organised via 'training pathways', designed to foster virtuous circles between research and personal development. Pathways give participants the flexibility to construct their own training programmes by combining several pathways over the course of their time at Oxford. The pathways are flexible, with multiple points of entry, intersection and exit, and open up further opportunities across and beyond the University.
